The point of test corrections is for you to show me that you now understand the concepts or issues associated with the questions you missed (as defined by the essay question). One excellent way you can demonstrate your understanding is to provide your own original example (either real or hypothetical) within your essay response. You will notice that many of the essays require original examples. I also will reward direct reference to the readings that are relevant to the question at hand. Including a statement of your own judgment would also strengthen your responses. Rewriting lecture notes does not show any of your own thought and will not earn much, if any, credit. Please refer to my “advice for written work” for a detailed discussion of the type of essays I am expecting.
